...so it would be a pain in the ass to change a tire if you were using gears, and a pain in the ass to re-adjust the brakes every time you change gearing running single speed. It's like the worst of both worlds.

@Jeremy, with a track end when the wheel moves back and forth the brake pads don't stay aligned. If you used a standard horiz dropout like the campy 1010, regardless of the wheel position in the dropout the brake stay aligned. All of this is only an issue with gearing changes.
